Have you ever read The Body Keeps the Score? It’s about PTSD and a bit clinical but it awakened in me the ways grief had impacted my body about 5 years after my sister passed. Such an incredible resource! 🤍
I have not, but have been wanting to for a long time. I need to go ahead and just buy it, as it always seems to be checked out at the library and when my time is up on the wait list, I wait too long to pick it up and it lapses. 🫣
Thank you for the reminder! And I’m so glad it was helpful for you in such a time as that. I have had a sibling pass away too and am sending gentle waves of love to you in your grief. 💛
After letting go of something pretty big to me this year (and of course following the Lord's will), I find my body going through a lot of anxiety (with lots of past-stuff that I thought I already overcame lol - it's so frustrating honestly 😤😫). So this post resonates with me because I'm still trying to figure it out.
But what remains the same to me is that learning about Jesus steadies me and my soul...and I'm trying to understand what that looks like to me now. What healing with/through Jesus looks like....not then, but now. ♥️
Thanks for sharing, Melissa. You are a warrior woman! 😭

I was just going to ask this same thing! It’s a really informative book. Beautiful essay, Melissa!
thank you! On my way to thriftbooks.com now to buy it...;)
